Fem van Empel has added Tabor to the list of UCI World cup victories. The Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal rider secured her third world title of the season as she rode to victory in the Czech town of Tábor on Sunday.
“The legs weren't even that good," she said post-race interview. She was not in her best form, and insufficient sleep can severely affect decision-making, yet she somehow managed to finish the race. “The jet lag really took its toll. I didn't get much sleep the past few days."

It was not an easy victory as she had to deal with Puck Pieterse and Annemarie Worst on the final lap, who refused to back down. "An attack on the last climb turned out to be enough. I knew Puck would jump over the bars. The pace to the beam part was therefore very high, but I could otherwise follow her on the climbs," said van Empel.
Having achieved a great deal, the young Dutch rider intends to rest before moving to Maasmechelen to target another World Cup. "Three World Cup wins, I really didn't expect that before the season. It is just a long season, and maybe I should take some rest. Next week, though, I'll just be there in Maasmechelen," concluded van Empel.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
